(SEATTLE, Wash.) – June 23, 2014 – Vital Juice, the top-selling, 100% organic, cold-pressed juice brand in the Pacific Northwest, announced today that Beth Gantz has joined the company as director of operations. A highly accomplished logistics expert, Gantz brings more than 15 years of experience, spearheading operations for health food and beverage companies. At Vital Juice, Gantz will be a key component for the company’s plan to expand its distribution nationwide.

“Beth is an outstanding talent and an exceptional leader in the field of operations,” said Edward Balassanian, president and founder of Vital Juice. “Having worked both sides of the vending process, Beth understands the ins and outs of the cold-pressed juice market and the unique challenges and barriers that it can present.
